That's an easy yes from MIN and an easy no for SAC. McLemore's growth on both sides of the ball has been big for them. Saw a stat that said last year, he was arguably the best 3/D player in the league, even better than Korver.

Outside of Thomas, Smart, and Olynyk, they don't have anyone that I'd be interested in. And they're not letting those three go.

I gotta see that stat...
Ya, he's dropped below a 10 PER this year as well so he's definitely not showing improvement over last year overall. That's why I think he might be attainable.

The thing is though why would they want shabazz. I could see them wanting kmart more. (I know better for us). In the end I don't know if there is a trade that is good fit both sides

They're looking to offload Gay apparently so Bazz would slide in as their backup to Casspi if they do manage to trade Gay. Honestly I'd take on Gay if it netted us McLemore as well, but we don't have the salary match. Gay is signed for next year with a PO after that so he'd only be here two years and we'd get a long-term piece with him. He's give us a big upgrade to Prince.
The more realistic trade targets for the wolves af this moment are backup bigs like bass, Jason Thompson, Spencer hawes etc. We desperately need another big that can play as we only have towns and dieng as bigs that belong in the league. Payne can't play, rudez is a 15th man, belly sucks, kg is injured and can't play more than 10mins when healthy, pek is in pain.
Maybe golden state will trade for martin in exchange of Jason Thompson and martin will agree to opt out for a chance at a title? Jason Thompson has not played much but he should be an upgrade over payne, rudez and belly.
I don't see us moving any of the young pieces so a minor move for a playeable big is probably the most realistic for us.

Problem with that is that Ezeli is out for a few weeks, so Thompson might get run?
All is this is great speculation, but who is actually going to negotiate any trades? I believe that the Wolves are officially not talking any calls right now.

Have any links to that? It doesn't make sense to give Milt until the end of the year, but then not let him do anything during the year to prove if he's any good.
